Syntax note: Operators without any defined mandatory arguments may omit their empty closing parentheses
isDuplicateName
isDuplicateName()
This is true if another note in the document has the same $Name as the current note. isDuplicateName() ignores all aliases. The parentheses may be omitted. In an action, the current note might be tested:
$MyBoolean = isDuplicateName(); If the current note has any duplicate-named notes, $MyBoolean is true.
In an agent, all instances of notes with duplicates are listed. Thus, the query:
isDuplicateName() lists all instances of any note with duplicates.
This can be useful if trying to find/resolve notes with duplicate names within a document. If expecting to use action code to work with notes, it helps if a note's title ($Name) is unique.
